How to make pizza at home

A good pizza comes from the expert hands of a pizza chef. But the raw ingredients it is made with are even more important: they must be authentic Italian specialities which are respectful of traditional Neapolitan flavours. Just like the ones used to make Eataly’s famous pizza: have you ever tried it? If you particularly liked it (or if you want to try it for the first time), you can now enjoy it at home by buying all the ingredients you need from Eataly shops!
